Celtic’s participation in the Champions League has considerable financial benefits for other Scottish Premiership clubs.
Their involvement in the elite competition has triggered substantial solidarity payments from UEFA, which are designed to support clubs that are not competing in European group stages.
This season, seven Scottish Premiership clubs—Dundee, Hibs, Kilmarnock, Motherwell, Ross County, St Johnstone, and St Mirren—will benefit significantly, each receiving £1.6 million.
The new payout schedule, moving payments to March and June 2025, aims to provide these clubs with a timely financial boost. Notably, this adjustment excludes Rangers, who have also been involved in European competitions during this period. Other clubs like Dundee United and Aberdeen will receive lesser amounts, with Hearts and Livingston receiving the base amount of £650,000.
As reported by RecordSport, this is how much the clubs will receive:
- £1.6m – Dundee, Hibs, Kilmarnock, Motherwell, Ross County, St Johnstone and St Mirren
- £950,000 – Dundee United and Aberdeen
- £650,000 – Hearts and Livingston
Celtic got off to a great start in the Champions League, winning their opening game for ther first time in 13 attempts.
Celtic are in a great place after a game played, and with a decent goal difference, which could come in handy, things are looking positive ahead of trips to Germany and Italy.
